Sustainable Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) Production through Improved Technology: An Overview of Production, Challenges, and Opportunities in Myanmar
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
Dear Authors,
I revised the manuscript "Sustainable Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) Production through Improved Technology: An Overview of Production, Challenges and Opportunities in Myanmar" submitted to the Sustainability Journal. The manuscript is interesting. However, I have some concerns, which need to be addressed before considering for final publication.
The entire paper needs close copy editing for English language style and grammar.
Check units format - use the SI units.
Table 1. FOASTAT 2020 – need reference number.
Line 132. Check "quality and quality".
Line 179. Check " at the end of the line?
Line 386. Figure 4 is too small.

Reviewer 2 Report
This review focuses on the overviewing the research achievements concerning the sustainable sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) production and outlook on the production constraints and future perspectives for Myanmar sesame. The manuscript is very interesting and the idea is nice. The title is clear and it is adequate to the content of the article. The author’s work on discussing achieved results is appreciated. The minor revisions are necessary to improve the clarity of the presentation. I have some recommendations for authors:
- Moderate English changes required;
- Please specify the review working method.
- Please improve the quality of figure 4.

Reviewer 3 Report
I found this review interesting for the community working with Sesame
there are some suggestions below
1) L59, data of 2016 are reported while at L61 there are data of 2018. Why the authors don't show a graph with the trend of the last 10 or 20 years in the main producer countries. These data can easily findable on FAOSTAT
2) In table 3 i would give more details, adding the mapping population (BC, F2, RIL etc) used for QTL mapping, the parent of cross, the number of individuals, the type and the number of molecular markers. This information will be highly appreciated by readers and make more useful the paragraph L208-L219
3) Figure 4 is not readable, I would report only the main information while the rest as a part written in the text

L59, data of 2016 are reported while at L61 there are data of 2018.
|
Line 59 is supported for seed consumption and L61 is for production data. |
|
Why the authors don’t show a graph with the trend of the last 10 0r 20 years in the main producer countries. These data can easily findable on FAOSTAT. |
Yes, a summary figure as “Figure 1” has been incorporated (Line 67-Line 71). The information is presented in Line 62-Line -66.
|
|
In table 3, I would give more details, adding the mapping population (BC,F2,RIL etc) used for QTL mapping, the parent of cross, the number of individuals, the type and the number of molecular markers. This information will be highly appreciated by readers and make more useful the paragraph L208-L219. |
The information has been incorporated in Table 3(Line 241). |
|
Figure 4 is not readable, I would report only the main information while the rest as a part written in the text. |
Figure 4 has been redrawn and the information is described in Line 416-Line 425. |
